How to Overcome FOMO
- Accept Your Status. Admit that you feel like you might be missing the next awesome thing.
- Realize You’re Looking at the Greatest Hits. Everyone else only shares his or her biggest hits as well. It’s also good to remember that it’s extremely easy to manipulate “reality.”
- Disconnect. Turn off notifications for your social apps. If there is a person in particular who sets your FOMO on fire, don’t be afraid to unfollow that person to save your sanity.
- Live in the Present. Make a list of all the things you wish you had time for: learning a new language, finally reading the book club selection, volunteering.
So get out there and start living your life, and while you’re at it, practice some JOMO.
